Run this place is a run down dimp

Reserves a king size room but was given a 2 full size beds. The mattresses were worn out, the sheets & blanket were stained. I was there 4 days & no one came to clean the room or change out the towels & wash cloth. The couple next door fought & the female was outside screaming for someone to call the please. Others gusts smoke outside the room @ the cigarette smoke smell filled my room. You definitely get what you paid for.

Front desk was accommodating in room preference. Sign in the room says there is a Continental breakfast, but when I went was told it's not served in that area of town and pointed to a faded card on the counter that said it. We spilled a little water on the floor and wiped it up with a white napkin to find the napkin turned black! The bottoms of our socks are also black from the floor. I reported this when we checked out hoping some much needed mopping will be done. Had some trouble second night regulating the hot water in the shower. Toilet was wobbly. We both slept reasonably well though, the beds were comfortable.
